Additive Manufacturing of customized imaging instrumentation for SARS-CoV-2 viral research

In the COVID 19 vaccine and anti viral therapy development, advanced optical imaging is used to measure the interaction of virus and the host cell Current microscopes is relatively slow and lacks required customization specific for COVID 19 research To address such a challenge, we plan to develop 3D print ing technology to build a customized microscope capable of high speed quantitative imaging of virus host interactions in live cell s for SARS CoV 2 virus research. The project will deliver an instrument to perfor m SARS CoV 2 vaccine and viral therapy development at McMaster.
